The Queen
The queen is a lonely figure. Her father started a war several years ago that he could not see to its end. In the fighting both he and her older brother are slain leaving the last of the royal bloodline, her, to rule. The nobility isn't too happy with this idea however as they don't feel she is prepared or capable of leading the kingdom during such a chaotic time. Instead they insist that she is weak and that she should marry a strong king to save them all.
She isn't content with simply being handed off however. To hide whatever weakness she may have, she keeps a stoic surface. She shows no emotion, no mercy. She is cold and distant and she is tired. She does all of her official work herself, refusing to delegate. Plots with her tend to come down to bringing out that human side of her again.
An alternative with this character is that the war is over and her kingdom lost. The invaders came in and supposedly destroyed any with claim to the throne. Somehow she managed to get away however but she no longer remembers who she is. This is generally fun with a knight who for whatever reason was unable to save her (so he thinks) that finds her.
